"And I asked the mushroom once about the social chaos at the end of history:""No worry bro, this is what it's like when a species departs for hyperspace, there's a little shimmy in the landing zone as we take off."

I'm very sorry to announce another hiatus until at least tuesday. Better get used to this btw, I don't know how the blogposting here will evolve but I have nowhere near the available online time as I used to. You can always check my 'thumbed up' stumbles here if you're starving for some good webpages. (btw put this post up first cause I like it better as a first post for a few days than a plain text post.)Unrelated, James I removed our discussion in the comments as it doesn't serve anybody. You are always welcome yet please use some more discretion next time.

Check out the HUGE inverted pentagon on the Dutch jerseys who have beaten Italy and France, two other main contenders for the championship, hard. This pic doesn't do it justice but it's the best I could find (google images SUCKS :p), on TV the thing looks huge. Before Euro 2008 the jerseys featured a more arched pentagon or no symbol at all. The supporters club also sports an upright pentagon. I wonder if the orange synchromystic flow in the ether I'm sure some of you have been following, along with powerful symbolism hasn't already ensured their finals victory.

This docu uses some of the footage used in the earlier posted MLK docu. Through a secret & illegal program called the Counter Intelligence Program (COINTELPRO), there was a concerted effort to subvert the will of the people to avoid the rise "of a black Messiah" that would mobilize the African-American community into a meaningful political force. This documentary establishes historical perspective on the measures initiated by J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI which aimed to discredit black political figures and forces of the late 1960's and early 1970's. Combining declassified documents, interviews, rare footage and exhaustive research, it investigates the government's role in the assassinations of Malcolm X, Fred Hampton, and Martin Luther King Jr. Were the murders the result of this concerted effort to avoid "a black Messiah"?

From the Tedtalks site: Entrepreneurial mycologist Paul Stamets seeks to rescue the study of mushrooms from forest gourmets and psychedelic warlords (warlords? :p). The focus of Stamets' research is the Northwest's native fungal genome, mycelium, but along the way he has filed 22 patents for mushroom-related technologies, including pesticidal fungi that trick insects into eating them, and mushrooms that can break down the neurotoxins used in nerve gas.

There are cosmic implications as well. Stamets believes we could terraform other worlds in our galaxy by sowing a mix of fungal spores and other seeds to create an ecological footprint on a new planet.

"Once you’ve heard 'renaissance mycologist' Paul Stamets talk about mushrooms, you'll never look at the world -- not to mention your backyard -- in the same way again."Linda Baker, Salon.com

Religious is is a documentary directed by Larry Charles (of Borat fame) and stars American comedian Bill Maher, host of Real Time With Bill Maher on HBO. According to Maher, the title of the film is a portmanteau derived from the words "religion" and "ridiculous", implying the satirical nature of the documentary that is meant to mock the concept of religion and the problems it brings about.

Known for his stance against religion, Bill Maher's views on the various world religions are explored as he travels to numerous religious destinations, such as Jerusalem and the Vatican, interviewing believers from a variety of backgrounds and groups, including Jews for Jesus, Muslims, polygamists, Satanists, Hasidic scholars and even Rael of the Raelian Movement. In the trailer and documentary Maher also interviews research neuroscientist Andrew Newberg, MD, (author of Why We Believe What We Believe) who brain-scans people at the University of Pennyslvania as they pray, meditate and speak in tongues. The documentary was produced by Thousand Words and is being distributed by Lionsgate. Originally slated for intentional release date coinciding with the religious Easter holiday 2008, post-production delays resulting from a screenwriters guild strike pushed the release date back to July 11, 2008. Release has now been pushed back to October 3, 2008.

Though it will probably be funny, it's easy money for Bill Maher, who refuses to take on real controversy, or he'd lose his job again. lol.

This documentary shows how the American media portrayed MLK in the media, and how the FBI through its illegal and covert COINTELPRO demonized social activists as communist infiltrators, using intimidation, violence and murder. How the government used another coverup after the murder they committed, after MLK's Poor People Campaign for economic justice went too far for the authorities. In 2000, King was voted 6th in the Person of the Century poll by Time, when he was alive though, Time was demonizing him along with every other mainstream media outlet, though hey, how many brainwashed Americans remember that shit? King was also elected the third Greatest American of all time by the American public in a contest conducted by the Discovery Channel & AOL, yet during his life he was the enemy of all government, media and whites in general. Fucking hilarious. How is it that the USA doesn't spontaneously implode by its own hypocrisy?

The Short lived channel 4 disinfonation program (from disinfo.com). This is a special where Grant Morrision dicusses his comic book The Invisbles: their origin and meaning. With excerpts from his Disinfocon talk. It's a fascinating interview with one of the most wonderful explanations of our reality and the alien phenomenon I've ever heard. (Features excerpts from the above talk too, but the interview that accompagnies it is MUST SEE!)

How long can the rigged game of politics continue with information like this coming out, well long because not enough care to learn it (:p). Here is another blatant display of a global effort for a New World Order: A US Program called the International Visitor Leadership Program which of course started with Nelson Rockefeller to train world leaders:

The International Visitor Leadership Program annually brings to the United States approximately 5,000 foreign nationals from all over the world to meet and confer with their professional counterparts and to experience America firsthand. The visitors, who are selected by American Foreign Service Officers overseas, are current or potential leaders in government, politics, the media, education, labor relations, the arts, business and other fields.

Among the thousands of distinguished individuals who have participated in the International Visitor Leadership Program since its inception more than five decades ago are more than 200 current and former Chiefs of State, 1,500 cabinet-level ministers, and many, many other distinguished leaders from the public and private sectors.

Just some of the alumni: Margaret Thatcher (turbo bitch & Reagan puppet), Tony Blair & Gordon Brown (any doubt left of their puppet-hood?), Guy Verhofstadt (former Belgian prime minister, aka Baby-Thatcher, hmm!), Nicolas Sarkozy (French President who incited the Paris Riots), Jan Peter Balkenede (aka Harry Potter, Belgian big mouth minister of foreign affairs and fellow NWO puppet Karel De Gucht said "Balkenende is a mix of Harry Potter and a petty rigid bourgeois mentality". It's just a game. Several attempts have been made to popularise Balkenende's image. During the 2006 election campaign, the political youth organisation CDJA created special T-shirts with the prime minister's face turned into Che Guevara. - no shame), Felipe de Jesus Calderon Hinojosa (Mexican puppet president, will be no trouble to form the North American Union), Marius Job Cohen (Amsterdam mayor, getting rid of legal prostitution there by taking on... the landlords) and many others.

Born as Steven Gray, Adyashanti studied Zen for 14 years under the guidance of his Zen teacher Arvis Joen Justi. Arvis was a student of Taizan Maezumi Roshi of the Zen Center of Los Angeles before he requested that she teach. Adyashanti was regularly sent by Arvis to Zen sesshins, where he also studied under Jakusho Kwong Roshi of the San Francisco Zen Center.

At age 25 he began experiencing a series of transformative spiritual awakenings and eventually Bodhi, better known as enlightenment in the west. His teachings and basic world view suggest nondualism and thus teaches the liberation of beings from the illusion of separation, also known as maya (illusion). This is a classic eastern ideology familiar to both Buddhism and Hinduism.

The basic concept of this ideology is that humans tend to identify with a sense of self that is essentially not real, or sometimes called empty. The Buddha called this idea no-self, or anatta. Suffering is thus said to be caused by the belief in a separate self that seems to be divided from the world. If someone was to realize that they, as an individually isolated self, was not real, but that there is only one being, known as Buddha-nature in Buddhism or Brahman in Advaita Vedanta, then they would be awakened to the true nature of their being, oneness. To have such an awakening is to realize that there is no me and no other, there is only one. One being, one universe, one everything. Suffering, however, does not necessarily end here. After an awakening it is suggested that there is often a long process of embodiment where the old beliefs of the body and mind, sometimes called samskaras, gradually yield to the new understanding of one's true nature. Spontaneous Awakening and Falling Away are two great audiobooks I recommend.

Adyashanti Quotes"...In the end spirituality is not about watching the breath. It's about waking up from the dream of separateness to the truth of unity."

"There is only life living itself, life seeing itself, life hearing itself, life meeting itself as each moment."

"The proof that there was something wrong was that I wasn't spiritually awakened. If there was nothing wrong then I would be spiritually awakened... Little did I know that the whole sense that there was something wrong was being totally grasped by the clutches of ego, that was ego. There was somehow something deficient, that idea itself was ego and had led to innumerable egoic episodes. Egocentered narratives in the novel of my life. Even with the sense of neutrality there was this unconscious thread that there was something wrong... And if there's a definition of ego, there's one definition of ego that has some real truth to it, it is: there's something wrong...I'm not awake, I'm not spiritually enlightened, because there's something wrong. if there wasn't something wrong I would be enlightened you see. So this idea, this felt experience, actually is a big part of what ego is you see. Cause if there's nothing wrong, all the self-contradiction just falls away. Which is of course what it does when we awaken to our true nature. And we see from the eyes of spirit rather than from the eyes of mind. From the eyes of spirit there is nothing wrong. There is nothing wrong with you, with them. This was quite a surprise, there was actually nothing wrong." (Falling Away)

Another superb song resonating Mind Control. In the video we see the singer floating surreal as if her life is a dream, we see floating houses like in the Wizard of Oz another mind control favorite. A sitting dog which doesn't budge representing the obedient pet, shadow work. More alternate reality symbolized by white blood marking the road. Displacement. Biting from the apple as fairy tales are another form of mind control. She's looking at a different version of herself across the table and holding her later. In the end the apple turns hairy and the video closes with floating houses, maybe representing the different forced personalities.

As for the lyrics, the flashlights, nightmares and sudden explosions say a lot. The roads are getting nearer, we (my personalities) cover distance but not together (as they are shut off from each other). I don't know what more to ask for, says the mind controlled slave "happy" with what she's got, not knowing anything else. It's about you and the Sun, well that's pretty blatant. The story of my maker what I have and ache for, I mean shit, that's over the top blatant. A golden ear, absorbing all put into her. If I am the storm and the wonder, the personality that is meant to rise above is portrayed as better than what was. There is no room where I can go, out of fear or out of incapability they are unable to see the trauma based memories. You have secrets too, probably about the handlers or simply redeeming herself. I was given just one wish, who knows how some are lured into this BS. Here are the lyrics:

It was me on that roadBut you couldn`t see meToo many lights out, but nowhere near here

It was me on that roadStill you couldn`t see meAnd then flashlights and explosions

Roads are getting nearerWe cover distance but not togetherI am the storm and I am the wonderAnd the flashlights, nigthmaresAnd sudden explosions

I don't know what more to ask forI was given just one wish

It's about you and the sunA morning runThe story of my makerWhat I have and what I ache for

I`ve got a golden earAnd cut and I spearWhat else is there?Roads are getting nearerWe cover distance still not together

If I am the storm if I am the wonderWill I have flashlights, nightmares, sudden explosions

There is no room where I can go andYou`ve got secrets too

I don`t know what more to ask forI was given just one wish

If you want to explore more from this band and mind control, conveniently check out Royksopp's Only this moment: video & lyrics.

Lateral thinking is a term coined by Edward de Bono, a Maltese psychologist, physician, and writer. He defines it as a technique of problem solving by approaching problems indirectly at diverse anglesinstead of concentrating on one approach at length.

Vertical thinking is digging the same hole deeper.Lateral thinking is trying again elsewhere.

"We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them." Albert Einstein

"Traditional thinking is all about 'what is;' Future thinking will also need to be about what can be." Edward deBono

With my feet upon the ground I move myself between the soundsand open wide to suck it in, I feel it move across my skinI'm reaching up and reaching outI'm reaching for the random or whatever will bewilder mewhatever will bewilder meAnd following our will and wind we may just go where no one's beenWe'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's beenSpiral out!Keep going!

This series of conversations is on the topic called the 8 Circuit Brain model. It is something that Timothy Leary first brought into the western consciousness. Later, Robert Anton Wilson in his book Prometheus Rising gave it a more wide spread appeal, and Antero in his book AngelTech provided a more hands-on approach to the same model.

As promised in the music vid post, here's the article: "Mind Control Themes and Programming Triggers in Movies" from In2Worlds.net (featuring analysis of the movies Labyrinth, The Manchurian Candidate, Fight Club, Eyes Wide Shut, V For Vendetta, Mulholland Drive, The Game, Stay, Total Recall, Vanilla Sky, The Matrix trilogy, and others). It will explain a lot through movies making it recognizable, easy and fast to learn.

This Mind Control related music video includes Masonic checkered floors, pillars, alternate realities, displacement, windows and doors. Karma, if that flawed concept exists (to which I'm open to, I freaking hope it does as I see little or no justice - just ice - in this reality), is a bitch as the singer of this band was rewarded with testicular cancer and instead of winning the Tour de France died instead at age 32. I will have post(s) explaining more about mind control later today. Here are the lyrics, I won't explain them as I find it pretty blatant enough to grasp right away and the article later will be much more clear. Tomorrow I will analyze another song's music video and lyrics extensively though making much more clear to the beginners. (of which I am one too!).

For three strange daysI had no obligationsMy mind was a blurI did not know what to doI think I lost myselfWhen I lost my motivationNow I'm walking 'round the cityJust waiting to come toFor three strange...

For three strange daysI couldn't put a smile on my faceSo they dressed me up in all of their clothesAnd took me somewhere elseJohnny Clueless was thereWith his simulated wood grainSo I pulled up a chairAnd started drinking by myselfFor three strange...

I've got to make it throughNo matter what it takesOh I've got to make it throughThese strange days

I lay down for a whileAnd I woke up on the oceanFloating on my backAnd staring at the grayIt was completely stillExcept the pounding of my heartBringing me back to lifeFrom three strange daysThree strange...Three strange daysThree strange days

The NYPD and the Secret Service shut down an art exhibition across the street from the New York Times building earlier this morning. The show's title was "The Assassination of Hillary Clinton/The Assassination of Barack Obama" This is today's "Thing most assured of getting in the tabloids tomorrow." The artist, Yazmany Arboleda, says his project is really about the media—he's definitely good at getting media attention, at least. He's even set up a website for each candidate's assassination (uh, in the media).

Syd Barret was one of the founding geniuses of Pink Floyd, If the US government didn't outlaw research on LSD and other hallucinogens, and spread real info instead of disinfo, maybe Syd and a lot of other youths could have learned about real reality instead of losing grip on this one.

* Circuit 3: symbolic-conceptual intelligence o Signs of getting stuck in circuit 3: "parroting", quoting other sources, but not having it come from you. Stuck at absorbtion, without proper integration. o The aim of 3rd circuit is communication - real communication, making you think. o Being logical is not the same as thinking * Circuit 4: ability to get along with people o People are unpredictable, for the most part. Ability to live with this unpredictability o Confidence of C-4 is whether you are likable o The vehicle for C-4: the ego personality o Annoyance as an indicator of unfulfilled needs / points of growth * Circuit 5: somatic intelligence; somatic opening to present time, living in the present, opening to all 5 senses. o Like circuit 1, only with awareness. Getting high. o Various practices can do it (meditation, etc.). If you live long enough, it tends to open up eventually, like any other circuit. o Charisma: transmission of integrated circuit 5. Certain amount of performance on stage produces charisma. * Circuit 6: o The central nervous system becomes self-aware. o The energy body / double / aura o Chakras * Circuit 7: Mytho-poetic, genetic intelligence o This is where things become genuinely weird o Existing conditions that are shared among the immediate family members * Circuit 8: non-local o Out of body experiences, near-death experiences o Finding non-locality in your experience, beyond the confines of time and space o What Antero calls "Void" o Connections between circuits 1-5, 2-6, 3-7, 4-8

"It is one of our perennial problems, whether there is actually a God. From the Hindu point of view each soul is divine. All religions are branches of one big tree. It doesn't matter what you call Him just as long as you call. Just as cinematic images appear to be real but are only combinations of light and shade, so is the universal variety a delusion. The planetary spheres, with their countless forms of life, are naught but figures in a cosmic motion picture. One's values are profoundly changed when he is finally convinced that creation is only a vast motion picture and that not in, but beyond, lies his own ultimate reality."

In the town of Ica, Peru there is a unique collection of over 11,000 stones (with much more known to exist) that were collected, organized, and analyzed by the late Dr. Javier Cabrera Darquea. His home has become a museum for these strange artifacts, which are engraved with scenes of an ancient people, and are believed to be an encyclopedia of ancient knowledge. Amazingly, some of the (series of) scenes show things which are wholly anachronistic, including man interacting with dinosaurs, advanced technology, performing complex medical procedures (brain surgeries, heart transplants, genetic experimentation, etc.), flying machines, androgynous creatures, depictions of the Earth's continents as they were millions of years in the past...

How Advanced?The stones depict a means of overcoming rejection of organs that are just now being utilized by modern medicine. Shown in a series of carvings are the isolation and extraction of cellular material in a pregnant woman's placenta with the reintroduction into the transplant patient to eliminate the possibility of rejection. Artificial life support systems are featured using an unknown energy that seems to be conveyed through the surgeons themselves. There is work with genetic codes and the prolongation of life. Blood vessels are shown being reconnected via re-absorption tubes utilizing the natural regeneration of cells. There are descriptions of cesarean section with acupuncture as a form of anesthesia.

Label everything we can't explain as a hoax!An unfortunate branding of the stones as a hoax early on has dissuaded what little genuine scientific curiousity made it past the barriers of the status quo. However, it is the opinion of Dr. Cabrera and others that the stones are indeed genuine, and that their antiquity is proof of a previously unknown ancient civilization whose existance has been lost to history. All that remains is a record of their knowledge, carved in stone (the only medium that could survive for thousands of years). If the message of the stones can be fully deciphered and accepted, it will change our understanding of ancient man, and re-write the history books in a big way.

CompositionBecause they are rocks and contain no organic material, Carbon-14 dating cannot be used. The stones themselves are composed of andesite, a very hard mineral that would make etching quite difficult with primitive tools. They are covered with a natural varnish that is created by bacteria over thousands of years. The etching is made by scraping away this dark varnish to reveal the lighter mineral beneath. According to some reports, examinations of the stones show that the grooves of the etchings also bear traces of additional varnish, however, indicating that they are very old.

Great first part of a podcast trilogy, will be posting the other parts tomorrow and the day after to hopefully tune in the most listeners. Featuring a great intro to the 8 Circuit model, the first 2 circuits and much more. Antero Alli, the author of Angel Tech, is such a great resource for the consciousness community, and so is Radical Change Group, check out their huge free archive of podcasts on Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Language, Business, Leadership, Mythology, and Spirituality.

From the site: Today we are starting an exciting new series of conversations with an author, a ritualist, a film maker, a dramatist, and astrologer, and a theater director Antero Alli. These series of conversations are near and dear both to our hearts, and to the work that Antero does.

Antero Alli was born in 1952 in Helsinki, Finland. He is an author of such books as AngelTech, Towards an Archeology of the Soul, Astrologic, the Vertical Oracle, and the Akashic Record Player. His deep background in theatre and paratheatre has resulted in numerous original performance works since 1977, and he’s currently the artistic director of ParaTheatrical ReSearch - a Berkeley based group of trained physical performers exploring asocial ritual dynamics. Since 1991 Antero has been writing, directing and producing his own films which include 6 feature functions, 3 paratheatre video documents, and about 20 short works.

This series of conversations is on the topic called the 8 Circuit Brain model. It is something that Timothy Leary first brought into the western consciousness, and later Robert Anton Wilson in his book Prometheus Rising gave it a more wide spread appeal. It was further developed by Antero in his book “Angel Tech”.

"Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves."Carl Gustav Jung

"There is no coming to consciousness without pain."Carl Gustav Jung

The shadow or "shadow aspect" is a part of the unconscious mind which is mysterious and often disagreeable to the conscious mind, but which is also relatively close to the conscious mind. It may be (in part) one's link to animal life, which is superseded during early childhood by the conscious mind; afterwards it comes to contain thoughts that are repressed by the conscious mind. According to Jung, the shadow is instinctive and irrational, but is not necessarily evil even when it might appear to be so. It can be both ruthless in conflict and empathetic in friendship. It is important as a source of hunches, for understanding of one's own more inexplicable actions and attitudes (and of others' reactions), and for learning how to accept and integrate the more problematic or troubling aspects of one's personality. (from the wiki)"We reproduce catastrophe because we ourselves are traumatized - both as a species and individually, beginning at birth. Because we are wounded, we have put up psychic defenses against reality and have become so cut off from direct participation in the multidimensional wilderness in which we are embedded that all we can do is to navigate our way cautiously through a humanly designed day-to-day substitute world of symbols - a world of dollars, minutes, numbers, images and words that are constantly being manipulated to wring the most possible profit from every conceivable circumstance. The body and spirit both rebel."David Watson (The Pathology of Civilization) If you imagine someone who is brave enough to withdraw all his projections, then you get an individual who is conscious of a pretty thick shadow. Such a man has saddled himself with new problems and conflicts. He has become a serious problem to himself, as he is now unable to say that they do this or that, they are wrong, and they must be fought against. He lives in the "House of the Gathering." Such a man knows that whatever is wrong in the world is in himself, and if he only learns to deal with his own shadow he has done something real for the world. He has succeeded in shouldering at least an infinitesimal part of the gigantic, unsolved social problems of our day.Carl Gustav Jung: "Psychology and Religion" (1938). In CW 11: Psychology and Religion: West and East. P.140

"I have always believed that each of us is responsible for doing her own emotional homework, that the process of facing down our ghosts is our small, attainable contribution to a kinetic process that holds the potential for healing the world. And why not? After all, the opposite is true: History has proven that people who are unwilling to catch and release their individual sadnesses, disappointments, and hidden motivations have compensated by wreaking havoc on the world. Good and evil lie within each of us, and every day we choose which potential to fill."Deborah Daw Heffernan

"Everyone carries a Shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual's4 conscious life, the blacker and denser it is. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious."Carl Gustav Jung

"The gigantic catastrophes that threaten us today are not elemental happenings of a physical or biological order, but psychic events. To a quite terrifying degree we are threatened by wars and revolutions which are nothing other than psychic epidemics. At any moment several millions of human beings may be smitten with a new madness, and then we shall have another world war or devastating revolution. Instead of being at the mercy of wild beasts, earthquakes, landslides, and inundations, modern man is battered by the elemental forces of his own psyche."Carl Gustav Jung

The shadow is the most clearly recognizable of the characteristic archetypes. Becoming conscious of your shadow means accepting that the dark aspects of your own personality really exist. This acceptance forms the basis of all self-knowledge, and usually finds a lot of resistance. The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. Through a thorough investigation of the dark character aspects and inadequacies respectively, that form the shadow together, seems that these posess a an emotional nature or a certain autonomy. That's why they have an obsessing influence, and we can even become posessed by it. Emotion is namely not an action we perform, but an occasion that happens to us. Affects or emotion usually show up on those matters we are least adjusted to. At the same time they reveal the reason of the lesser adjustment, namely a inadequacy and a lower level of the personality at that specific point. On this deeper level with it's barely or not at all controlled emotions we behave more or less as a primitive human. We are then not only a victim of our emotions without any will of our own, but also remarkably little capable of a moral judgement.While now the shadow with the help of insight and good will can be fitted somewhat into the conscious personality, there are also, as experience learns us, certain traits that stubbornly resist any moral control, and seem as good as uninfluencable. In the rule these resistances are weaved in with projections, that are not recognized as such. Insight in the own projections means a moral achievement that surpasses the common average. While the characterisstics ofthe shadow can be recognized without too much trouble as properties belonging to one's own personality, insight aswell as will are lacking with the confrontation of the projections. The origin of the emotions that guide the projection seem without a doubt to rest with the other (on whom one projets).The projecting is namely as known not the conscious human, but the unconscious. A projection is encountered - not made by ourselves. The effect of projections is the isolation of the human his environment, seeing as he does not have a real realtionship with it, but only an illusionary. Projections change the environment in its own, but unknown insight. They lead because of this in last instance to an auto-erotic or autistic situation, wherein one dreams a world - the reality of the world however remains unreachable. The feeling of incompleteness and the even worse feeling of sterility that are the effect of this, are in their turn again explained through projection as evilwillingness of the environment, and thanks to this vicious cycle the isolation increases. The more projections are shoved between the subject and his environment, the harder it becomes for the I to see through his illusions. It is often tragic to see how a man, often in a very transparent manner, ruins his own life and that of others, while he can't see for all the money of hte world that the entire mess came from the greatest part out of himself, and again and again is fed and maintained by him. That is by the way not the not the work of his consciousness, cause that complains and curses about a unfaithfull world, that keeps retreating itself. The guilty is on the contrary an unconsicous factor, that spins world and self-hiding illusions. This fantasy world is indeed a cocoon that causes the concerning human to be totally encapsulated.The shadow can be seen through and realized with a little self-criticism easily - for as so far it is of a personal nature at least. In other words: It is in our capabilities to know the relative-evil of our nature."Adapted from Carl Gustav Jung: "I and Self: The I - The self. Christ, a symbol of the self.

"When an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside as fate."Carl Gustav Jung

"People will do anything, no matter how absurd to stop from facing their souls."Carl Gustav Jung

"The foundation of all mental illness is the unwillingness to experience legitimate suffering."Carl Gustav Jung

You are every thing, every being, every emotion, every situation. You are unity, You are infinity.You are love/light, light/love. You are.

"He is enlightened, liberated, who sees all things as One - Unseparated."Angelus Silesius"

"All things appear and disappear because of the concurrence of causes and conditions. Nothing ever exists entirely alone; everything is in relation to everything else."Buddha

"Throughout the universe there's a network of wires stretching to infinity. The horizontal wires are placed in space; the vertical in time. Everywhere where these wires cross eachother, there's an individual. And every individual is a crystal bead. The big light of an Absolute Being enlightens and penetrates each crystal bead. And every crystal bead reflects not only the light of all other crystals in the network, but also every other reflection, from all corners of the Cosmos."The Rigveda - Indra's Net

Dr. George W. Crile, of the Cleveland Laboratories announced that he had disovered at the heart of every living organism a tiny nucleus of energy, all aglow, with temperatures ranging from 3000 to 6000 degrees of heat, which he called "radiogens" or "hot points" precisely akin to the radiant energy of solar matter. He affirmed, that a tiny particle of the sun's power and radiance was lodged within the heart of every organic unit.

"Photons come out of nowhere, they cannot be stored, they can barely be pinned down in time, and they have no home in space whatsoever. That is, light occupies no volume and has no mass. The similarity between a thought and a photon is very deep. Both are born in the region beyond space and time where nature controls all processes in that void which is full of creative intelligence."Deepak Chopra

"Never give children a chance of imagining that anything exists in isolation. Make it plain from the very beginning that all living is relationship. Show them relationships in the woods, in the fields, in the ponds and streams, in the village and in the country around it. Rub it in."Aldous Huxley, Island

The Butterfly Effect: The phrase refers to the idea that a butterfly's wings might create tiny changes in the atmosphere that ultimately cause a tornado to appear (or, for that matter, prevent a tornado from appearing). The flapping wing represents a small change in the initial condition of the system, which causes a chain of events leading to large-scale phenomena. Had the butterfly not flapped its wings, the trajectory of the system might have been vastly different. Hence everything is interconnected.

For that which happens to the sons of men happens to animals. Even one thing happens to them: As the one dies, so the other dies. Yes, they have all one spirit; and man has no pre-eminence over the animals: for all is vanity.

"The first peace, which is the most important, is that which comes within the souls of people when they realize their relationship, their oneness with the universe and all its powers, and when they realize that at the center of the universe dwells the Great Spirit, and that this center is really everywhere, it is within each of us."Black Elk, Oglala Sioux

"He who has seen present things has seen all, both everything which has taken place from all eternity and everything which will be for time without end; for all things are of one kin and of one form."Marcus Aurelius

"Everything is right for me, which is right for you, O Universe. Nothing for me is too early or too late, which comes in due time for you. Everything is fruit to me which your seasons bring, O Nature. From you are all things, in you are all things, to you all things return."Marcus Aurelius

"The day of days, the great day of the feast of life, is that in which the inward eye opens to the Unity in things, to the omnipresence of law; -- sees that what is must be, and ought to be, or is the best. This beatitude dips from on high down on us, and we see. It is not in us so much as we are in it."Ralph Waldo Emerson (fate)

"So to describe myself in a scientific way, I must also describe my surroundings, which is a clumsy way getting around to the realization that you are the entire universe."Alan Watts

"So then, the relationship of self to other is the complete realization that loving yourself is impossible without loving everything defined as other than yourself."Alan Watts

"So what I think we could aim for in the way of human civilization and culture would be a system in which we are all highly aware of our existing interconnection and unity with the whole domain of nature, and therefore do not have to go to all sorts of wild extremes to find that union."Alan Watts

"Underneath the superficial self, which pays attention to this and that, there is another self more really us than I. And the more you become aware of the unknown self, if you become aware of it,the more you realize that it is inseparably connected with everything else that is."Alan Watts

"This we know: the earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. All things are connected like the blood that unites us all. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does it to himself."Chief Seattle

"No man is an Island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee."John Donne

"When Euclid was inventing his geometry, which has become the basis for man-made forms, the Greek reason was already corrupted by Aristotle's analytical and classificatory approach to the world. With Socrates and Plato the Greek world is still held in unity and harmony. With Aristotle, we begin to divide and chop and atomize - put things into separate compartments, where they are identified by special labels called definitions. Euclid and his geometry only reinforces the tendency to atomism, separatism, thinking in neat logical categories--here are the axioms, here are the rules of derivation, here are the theorems derived from the axioms through the accepted rules of derivation. All very neatly and rigorously defined. A triumph of the rational Western mind which is going to depend so much on the power of formal reasoning, on the meaning of axioms which will become the ultimate bricks out of which other things are to be constructed."Henryk Skolimowski

"I’m one of those crazy people who believes that all human beings share one consciousness. So if you‘re mean and evil to someone, you’re being evil to yourself. But I also believe in a lot of dumb shit like Bigfoot and UFO’s, so it’s tough to take me seriously. I just find it a little odd that the same government that denies the existence of UFO’s insists on sticking to the single bullet theory."Joe Rogan

"Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration. That we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There is no such thing as death. Life is only a dream and we are the imagination of ourselves."Bill Hicks

Don't say words you're gonna regretDon't let the fire rush to your head (kundalini? :p)I've heard the accusation beforeAnd I aint gonna take any moreBelieve meThe sun in your eyesMade some of the lies worth believing

I am the eye in the skyLooking at youI can read your mindI am the maker of rulesDealing with foolsI can cheat you blindAnd I dont need to see any moreTo know that I can read your mindI can read your mind

Don't leave false illusions behindDon't cry cause I aint changing my mindSo find another fool like beforeCause I aint gonna live anymore believingSome of the lies while all of the signs are deceiving

Philip K. Dick and the Illuminati:Monday night he [Dick] called me and said that the night before - Sunday - he'd been smoking some marijuana that a visitor had left, and felt himself entering that by-now-familiar state in which he had visions (generally not dope-related - unless you count Vitamin C as dope), and he said, "I want to see God. Let me see you."

And then instantly, he told me, he was flattened by the most extreme terror he'd ever felt, and he saw the Ark of the Covenant, and a voice (Voice?) said, "You wouldn't come to me through logical evidence or faith or anything else, so I must convince you this way." The curtain of the Ark was drawn back, and he saw, apparently, a void and a triangle with an eye in it [emphasis added], staring straight at him. (How prosaically I put all this down, especially when I pretty much believe it's true!) Phil said he was on his hands and knees, in absolute terror, enduring the Beatific Vision from nine o'clock Sunday evening until 5 A.M. Monday. He said he was certain he was dying, and if he could have reached the telephone he'd have called the paramedics. The Voice told him, in effect, "You've managed to talk yourself into disbelieving everything else (more gentle and suited for human consumption) I let you see, but this you'll never be able to forget or adapt or misrepresent."

Phil said that during the ordeal he said, "I'll never do dope again!" and the Voice said, "That's not the issue."

Later in the article the author talks about Phil seeing the vesica pisces on a girl's pendant, the day after I read that passage for the first time in VALIS I synchronistically saw an otherwise unmarked car with the symbol on it.

I acknowledge the privilege of being alive in a human body at this moment, endowed with senses, memories, emotions, thoughts, and the space of mind in its wisdom aspect;

It is the prayer of my innermost being to realize my supreme identity in the liberated play of consciousness, the Vast Expanse; Now is the moment, Here is the place of Liberation;

Witness the contents of mind, the visions and sounds, the thoughts, as clouds passing through the Vast Expanse - the skylike nature of mind; The rootedness of Being is in emptiness, clarity and awareness: Unborn, unspoilt, stainlessly pure;

The infinite vibratory levels, the dimensions of interconnectedness are without end; There is nothing independent; All beings and things are residents in your awareness;

I subject my awareness to the perfection of being, the perfection of wisdom and perfection of love, all of these being co-present in the Vast Expanse; I share this panorama of Being and appreciate all I can share it with;

The seamless interweaving of awareness with each moment creates perfection wherever you go; That is why this teaching is admired by artists - they sense the correctness of the response to life as creative;

Life is infinite creative play; Enjoyment and participation in this creative play is the artist's profound joy; We coauthor every moment with universal creativity;

To bare our souls is all we ask, to give all we have to life and the beings surrounding us; Here the nature spirits are intense and we appreciate them, make offerings to them - these nature spirits who call us here - sealing our fate with each other, celebrating our love;

I am an intersecting kaleidoscope of Being in a rainbow refractive wave pattern: A corpuscle of light on the ocean; the transparency of my body with the rocks; sometimes the only way to summarize my feelings is to draw - to collapse the frenzy in my limbs enough to make a mark out of profound appreciation for my existence;

Share your presence with others, no boundaries, completely, openly, lovingly; Love is what makes us alive, that is why we feel so alive when we love; Service is being available to love; Life is the combustion of love; That we love ourselves here, that is the true magnificence in the mountains of being;

We are constantly drawing the line between love and not love - enter into the Nonduality Zone; All judgements dissolve in the Vast Expanse;

It's as though we are co-conspirators of consciousness - everyone, everywhere, everywhen, mixing up our openable minds; It's as though we could gather clouds in the sky and people into our lives; Like an eruption of consciousness, we discover the most important force is love;

Daily Mail: It is extraordinary to think that, in 2008, there remain about a hundred groups of people, scattered over the Earth, who know nothing of our world and we nothing of theirs, save a handful of brief encounters. (update: 1, 2)

The uncontacted tribes, which are located in the jungles of South America, New Guinea and a remote and the beautiful and remote North Sentinel island in the Indian Ocean all have one thing in common - they want to be left alone.

And for good reason. The history of contact, between indigenous tribes and the outside world, has always been an unhappy one.

Contact is usually a disaster for these remote tribespeople, who live a life probably unchanged for more than 10,000 years. Even if the loggers do not shoot them (which they often do) or force them off their land, diseases against which these isolated humans have no resistance typically wipe out half an uncontacted tribe's numbers in a year or two.

Ms Ross added: 'These pictures are further evidence that uncontacted tribes really do exist. The world needs to wake up to this, and ensure that their territory is protected in accordance with international law. Otherwise, they will soon be made extinct.'
